Replacing a broken laptop keyboard and swapping keys to convert from Euro to UK or US
I needed to replace my Lenovo laptop keyboard as many keys would stop working at once so I decided to change the whole keyboard. I ordered one and didn't read the description properly. A Euro Danish keyboard turned up so I decided, as it was in very good condition to swap the keys that were wrong, or Danish, and keep the rest.
All done and working perfectly now after about an hours work as one or two screws didn't want to come out.
Total cost was £20 for second hand Danish keyboard. The UK or US keyboards were considerably more so this is an option to save money if your keys are good.

Part 4: Debriefing of KIA WAV welding repair to rusting rear cross member. Good tools we used.
Переглядів 352 роки тому
This is a brief summary of the work done and a description of where to get the best tool used a drill driven riveter that saved a load of time and didn't break, which is a bonus. After sealing with Sikaflex and painting the new steel and ramp it all looks pretty good and back to full strength.
Part 3: Welding the new box section cross member in place on my KIA WAV and re-fitting ramp.
Переглядів 412 роки тому
All the preparation work is done and the new steel, after cutting to length, was clamped in place. 10Mm holes drilled in the floor for spot welds to the cross member. Tack welds to the front edge finished the welding. The sided panels were pop riveted back on and some paint applied before the ramp was riveted back on. As the floor wasnt corroded the ramp went back on in the same place so the ta...
Part 2: Cutting off the rusty box section rear cross member of my WAV and preparing for welding
Переглядів 542 роки тому
Lots of cutting, grinding and bending to remove the rusty box section rear cross member so the new one can be welded in. First job was to remove the wheelchair ramp, drilling out the rivets. Once removed this exposed the steel underneath. The floor was good but the box section was rusted away. Its amazing how well rusty steel can hold on by a few welds. 2 hours of work and a dead grinder to rem...

BANNED Jigsaw fashion company ad, why is this ad banned? You can see worse things on BBC news.

Was this clever advertising or a mistake? My thoughts are its is very clever advertising which spreads the viewing audience by creating a storm in a teacup. What are your thoughts on this? Are you offended or think is harmless. I am sure the model was happy with the pay cheque and didn't care too much about offending anyone, and so she should. People seem to forget that the model is a woman as ...
WARNING. TikTok can seriously damage your health so please avoid before its too late.

After installing the TikTok app after people encouraging me to produce videos for it I narrowly avoided serious injury. After 20 minutes of visual abuse I watched 50 videos of varying scales of mind numbing moronic inability until my brain felt like it had been blended. I have since removed the app and concluded that TikTok is not for me and should be avoided at all costs. I do worry that this ...
Android 11, turn Google assistant button off on my Motorola G30. Always clicking button
Переглядів 2622 роки тому
After only a few hours of owning my Motorola g30 I was completely fed up with turning the Google assistant on by the top button where my power button used to be. From locked it would turn the assistant on, in my bag. It was a nightmare. Tried to turn just the button off but had to turn the assistant off as there didn't seem to be a solution other than this. Also found external microphone didnt ...

At last I have got rid of my old LG Nexus phone and hoping I no longer have to restart recording video recording after every 17 minutes. The second half of this video is recorded on the Motorola and the difference in quality is clear to see. Will it make my videos better? Lets hope so, I was ending up taking along time editing to make something of what I had.

Part 1. KIA Sedona engine service retro style. Oil and filters changed on 2.9 diesel engine.

I managed to do the engine service on my Kia Sedona but taking video was a little more difficult with my video equipment failure. I apologise that the footage is not complete but at least this has pushed me to buy a new phone for taking video, coming soon. I used a retro bit of kit for getting the car intro the air and it worked fine.

Good video, I got my car back from my mechanic and they had the hose on the outside, instead of in the expansion pot…cheers for the video.
Thanks. Nice of you to share this tip.
Should there always be cooling water inside this? Because when i open this silver thing on the right its empty
Could we see a demonstration please?
Love it ! Thank you! 👍‼️
This is a terribly poorly designed laptop to take apart!
Did you ever get to the bottom of this?
No sorry I did say in the last video that my brother ended up selling the car. My best guess was a stuck open thermostat as this was a relatively cheap part I would have changed this first.
I have changed the heater resistor brand new for 20 quid worked again that day and not anymore the day after. Heater fan worked when took the whole compartment apart and tested it, now same issue just the led lights come up on the heater dial. I have no idea whats the issue
Alexa is the other one. I share your frustration with the Google assist button, thanks for posting
Thank you for the comment. Yes Alexa, thats the one also i forgot the apple Siri techno marvel. Glad the post was of some help.
You have your design? I would like to see it! Well if you need your cane to stay put then it's worth buying a holder that will protect it!
I have done a new video with a solution. ua-cam.com/video/34Pz1VWpW98/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing this! I'm trying to find a walking cane holder for my dad, that actually works! It looks like we do need rocket scientist to design one that works!
Hi Citli, Thanks for commenting. I have found somthing that is working very well so far but its not designed for canes but works well. I have copied the ebay link below there are 4 in a pack and are usually used for hanging things in the garage etc. wind it round the cane 3 times then the tail sticking out can be made into a hook or poked through door handle etc. works well for me. copy and paste the silly long link or search ebay for: foam twist ties 43cm x4 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143489740068 Link to new video ua-cam.com/video/34Pz1VWpW98/v-deo.html
I never thought Id see a video of my Dad firstly screwing on UA-cam for half an hour, and secondly almost giving himself a vasectomy....
Some may say it was a little late for a vasectomy!
I didn't tell Sam!! I promise!!
My Qashqai heater has the same issue. Piping hot water enters the heater matrix, but Luke warm, coming out. Flushed the matrix and bled the system but still no heat output. Surely if it was the thermostat, it would either overheat or take forever to get up to temperature? Mine does neither. I'm baffled at this stage.
I totally agree it doesn't make sense. in my opinion the car should have overheated as we were testing for well over 30 minutes running. I will let you know in another video if the thermostat makes any difference or not. Its relatively cheap so not too bad to replace as a best guess.
